BALLET II (Ages 7-8)

Ballet Level II is the first time dancers use the ballet barre. Facing the barre, young dancers are taught the “ballet check-list” in order to introduce correct placement, stretched knees, and a formality to the art form. Dancers start to memorize the combinations instead of imitating the teacher, and perform with more independence. These dancers will perform both a Ballet and a Tap piece in DDC’s annual Recital Showcase.
